Pinewood Derby

Jefferson had their annual Pinewood Derby Races a couple weekends ago. This was our first year to participate, and we didn't realize how serious some people took it! Some of those cars were fancy! We had fun watching the cars race, and seeing how well Brooks and Mike did. (They both entered a car). Lucy had a car to enter, but somehow it got a little banged up before we could enter it!! We'll try again next year. Brooks didnt' place, but at least he didn't come in last ever! I think Mike did come in last a couple times! He even got beat by a Jonus Brothers car!! But Mike won the award for "Best Theme". It was army, of course. So here's some pictures from that day and earlier when Brooks was helping Mike sand down the car.
